Another fun "2-3 star/5 star" review…read more First, you guys REALLY need to clean up the area at the back of the place...we park in the county lot after 6 when it's legal and walking in that way is, frankly, gross. 2 star worthy Asked for a Miller Lite. Out. Asked for another beer on the menu. Out. Now Maddie our server (6 star worthy) made it right, was super cheerful/"embarrassed" and bought me a bar drink to make up for it...so no big deal...BUT wanted the Big Fish...OUT. Wanted fish and chips...OUT. Two of your more popular dishes I bet...wth???? Now the FUNNIEST thing? Couldn't get our bill because...you guessed it...receipt paper for the printer? OUT. 2-3 star worthy. Now, what we were able to scrounge off the menu? Really good as usual. Enjoyed ourselves, Maddie and one of her colleauges (they seem to have had all the tables by themselves?) were uber friendly and fun and made us chuckle about the situation, and other things so we had a light hearted, nice time. (5 star worthy) But guys. This isn't normal. (Right?)

Me and my girlfriend went for a quick late lunch, focusing on appetizers and some beer. As far as…read moreatmosphere goes, cute outside seating and decent vibes. But ambiance doesn't cut it alone. Albeit only ordering two appetizers and two beers, the apps we ordered were NOT good. We ordered the 1lb mussels and the nachos with added beef. The mussels were in a butter garlic sauce with what tasted like white cooking wine or champagne(???) that was NOT all the way simmered, it was bitter and extremely sour. The mussel meat was all but ruined and swimming in this weird butter sour soup, basically drinking champagne with mussels. For $15, Easily 1/10 and not acceptable(stay away). The nachos which were $14 and for an additional $7(chicken) or $6(beef) they weren't terrible, but not great either. We got the beef add-on, and the beef was charred and dry, it appeared as if they just let the beef sit under a heat lamp for a few hours, it was black but didn't taste burnt. The nachos had some semi-dry cheese sauce with pico de gallo spread on top and came with a side of sour cream in a black plastic cup (which was fine). The best part about the nachos were what seem to be home made chips, those were quite nice actually. But because of the charred/dry beef it quickly became too salty. Portion size was good so maybe sharing with at least 3-4 people, not sure anyone would notice how salty it can get. For $20, 4/10. Our server was fine, at one point he disappeared for ~15-20 minutes when we were ready to close out but overall service was normal. The beer was also fine, nothing abnormal. Could have been a bit colder if I had to be nit picky. This was our first and last time unfortunately, had decent hopes considering it's in such a premier location in downtown Sanford. We will not be returning as there are much better options on this strip and if any would like to try them(based on this review) AVOID THE MUSSELS.

Their story and concept is great. You're truly supporting a local business that has been around for a long time and has amazing reviews. The owner is the chef and they have a staff of maybe 5 people total. It's personal and professional. It's fresh food made daily and you can see them working in the kitchen. If you go and eat one thing, it's the ribs appetizer. The salmon was amazing too. But the sauce and those ribs will have me going back!

The vibe was dark and romantic, which was perfect for our date night. We ordered the Spinach Rolls for an appetizer and they were delicious. Tender enough to cut with a fork and the crispy bread crumbs added flavor and texture. My husband ordered the fresh fish dish of the evening and it was light and flavorful. It had unique flavors that were delectable. I ordered the Lobster Asparagus Risotto, and it was the best lobster I've had thus far in Orlando. The lobster was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The risotto was creamy and the asparagus tender which was a perfect complement to the lobster. For dessert we ordered the Banana Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was warm and had the texture of a French toast. It was delicious and the whip cream was fresh. The food, service, and ambience were a 10/10. The quality of food is next level and for a fresh/flavorful meal I will always choose The Vineyard.

Lobster risotto: maybe my favorite dish, although I personally like my risotto a little creamier. The flavor was good though and a good size of lobster. Hanger steak stir fry: this was a surprise hit for me, as I didn't expect much of an Asian inspired dish. I also liked the steak here more than the ribeye which is usually not the case for me Short rib: a very generous portion of lush pomme puree; short rib was not bad but not my go-to either Ribeye: my companions largely picked this as their favorite Lobster alfredo: this was our least favorite; not awful but a little flat and uninspired compared to the other dishes
